Feedback 11/27: Big Thanksgiving newspaper

November 26, 2010

Thanksgiving Day newspaper

• It's sad to say that the jumbo paper needs extra delivery time because of all the ads in it. Why weren't we, the people who have these newspapers delivered to us, asked if we want to have all these advertisements? Mine will end up in the trash right away.

Editor: Many people look forward to the Thanksgiving Day advertisements they receive in the newspaper. If you've read any of the news coverage we've had about Black Friday and its preparations, you will know that some people plan out their shopping trips around those advertisements. They gathered friends and family together to go as a group to get the best sales for the holidays. Each year Black Friday newspaper advertisements help people around the country save money on their gift shopping. While you may not be a fan of the advertisements, there are other Daily Press newspaper readers who feel differently. The Thanksgiving Day edition of the Daily Press is one of the top-selling newspapers of the year.

Vick and the Eagles

• I know that the Sunday night football game was played too late to get it in to Monday's Daily Press, but you had plenty of time to put it in today's paper. I didn't see much about Vick today. I wonder why?

Editor: Sounds like you missed our coverage. There was a story about Michael Vick and the Eagles on page 5 of the sports section in Tuesday's newspaper.

Top 25 team rankings

The Sports section has shown the top 25 team rankings every Tuesday for FCS teams during the season. We get to the final poll before the playoffs start and no information. In its place we get a poll for women's basketball. Women's basketball lasts for four more months, but the FSC football season ends soon and no information.

Editor: That was a mistake. We should have run the final FCS poll. Our apologies.
